Buy this in Stoke for £39950
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180428040560

or this extremely similar example in Conwy for just £4100......curiously the feedback looks ok, just to confuse things even more....something's weird

Confused Rolling Eyes Question

I see that the cheaper salesman is too shy to leave his phone number.

weird though that the feedback looks ok, ie not a brand new seller with (0) feedback. Unless somehow a genuine id belonging to someone in Wales has been hijacked by someone else of questionable intent??

Something not right with that second link (the cheaper car), it starts loading then reloads to a different page.......Most odd indeed

Strange.

Maybe the car was bought by the seller in Stoke from the seller in Conwy, who then put it straight back on Ebay to try and make a quick (large!) profit, using the original seller's description and photos? Confused

As it is a classified ad maybe the original seller forgot to remove it, either that or it is some sort of scam.

just remembered seeing a note about ebay searches, and them being a bit wonky a few days ago, so perhaps there's a bigger wobbler going on somewhere within the works of ebay itself?? I clicked on something with a buy-it-now (dangerous I now), yet when I got to the item itself there was no BIN and just a few (low) bids in place Confused
